ICE-CREAM-CONE FILLER.

Specification of Letters Ratent.

Patented Mar. 25, 1913.

Application filed May 17, 1912. Serial No. 697,874; I

To all whom, it may concern Be it known that 1, WILLIAM KRrs'r, acitizen of the United States, residing at Milwaukee, county ofMilwaukee, and State tit Wisconsin, have invented new and usefulImprovements in Ice-Cream-Cone Fillers, of which the following is'aspecification.

My invention relates to improvements in ice cream cone fillers.

One of the primary objects of my device cream receptacle of which isadapted to be opened or separated as the frozen cream is deposited inthe cone, whereby the respective sides or" such receptacle are free topass down the outside of the cone, while the cream is deposited in themouth of the cone.

My invention is further explained by reference to the accompanyingdrawings, in which Figure 1 represents a top view of the cone filler inits closed position. Fig. 2 is a similar view, showing the receptacle inits open position, and Fig. 3 represents a side View of the device asthe same appears when inverted preparatory todepositing the frozen creamin the mouth of the cone.

Like parts are identified by the same ref-'.

erence numerals throughout the several views. Y

The cream receptacle comprises the two side members 2, 2, which arepivotally connected together through the arms 8, 3, pivotal bolt 4 andlugs 5 and 6.

i1 7 are the operating handles which are respectively pivotallyconnected at one end with the arms 3, through the pivotal bolts 8, 8 andlugs 9, 9 and 10, while the opposite ends of said handles are pivotallyconnected by the bolt 11.

12 is a U-shaped spring, the respective ends of which are connected withthe opposing inner sides of the handles 7, 7, while the central. portionof said spring extends rearwardly in close proximity to the contiguousends of said handles, and the tension of such spring is such as to throwsaid handles apart or away from eacln other, whereby the respcctivesides2 of the receptacle are normally retained in their closed position,as shown in Fig. 1.

.The inner opposing sides of the handles 7 are respectively providedwith transverse recesses or depressions 12, 12, shown in dotted lines inFigs. 1 and 2, for the reception of the ends of said spring, and theends of 7 said spring are retained in suchrecesses by its recoil. I

It will. now be understood that when desirous to separate the respectivesides, 2, 2 of the receptacle, theuser of the filler has simply to forcethe respective members of the handles 7, 7 toward each other, wherebythe sides of said'recepta-ble are thrown apart as shown in Fig. 2, when,as soon as the han-' dles are released from the grip oft-heuser,

they are thrown, apart by the recoil of said spring 12, whereby therespectivesides 2, 2 of the receptacle are again brought togetherpreparatory to filling the same with cream.

My device is used as follows :The sides of the receptacle being togetheras shown in Fig. 1, the receptacle is forced. into a body.

of cream until such receptacle is filled. When this is done, thereceptacle is inverted over a cone and the respective handles 7, 7 areforced toward each other bythe grip of the user as the receptacle isbrought over and upon the outside of the cone, whereby the cream whichhas been thus dished up by the receptacle is deposited. uponthe mouth ofthe cone.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, 1s

In an ice cream cone -filler, the combination of a cream receptaclecomprising two separable members, an:arm formed integrally with each ofsaid members, means for pivotally connecting suclvarms together at anintermediate point between such receptacle .and their ends, a pair ofhandles, means for'pivot-ally connecting one end of each of'said handleswith the ends of saidarms respectively, means for pivotally connectingthe opposite ends of said handles.

with each other, and a spring connected with said handles adapted by itsrecoil to force such handles apart and normally retain the separablememberswof said receptacle together.

. In testimony whereof I atlix my signature in the presence of twowitnesses.

VILLIAM KRIST.
